Last one for this evening. I was expecting something more along the lines of what VL7 has (menu at top of the screen, Cairo at the bottom). Having a devil of a time figuring out how to get that #$)(*&@# panel to appear at the top of the screen. >.<

Seems we've taken a step backwards. Grub installed fine, but during the setup I wasn't asked if I wanted to setup X or allow the system to do it for me without an xorg.conf file. On restart it hangs at rc.x multiuser mode.
